"Maple, you're-" in a blink of an eye, my mother has the sharp end of the spear at the nap of Demir's neck.Demir has his hands up, shaking. "Does my brother know about your identity?""He knows.""My brother knows, and yet you didn't kill him," Demir's voice got icy. "We are mortal enemies."Demir is trying to make a point for my mother to understand the estranged relationships between two immortal beings."When did you reclaim your memories?"Maple glares at Demir, holding back her anger. "Before Ruvik and I got married.""What?! Then why didn't you kill Ruvik? He's a demon, and you're a celestial. You are supposed to defeat the evil," Demir smirked, taunting her.Maple poked his neck as he let out a nervous laugh. "Hey, easy on that weapon.""I wanted to. I wanted to kill you as well. But Ruvik, although he had killed so many of my people. I couldn't kill him. He didn't want war. You did. You want to prove to your father that you are a much better candidate to take the throne by ki

The door closed shut as a magical barrier sealed it. I let out a loud sigh and leaned against the wall. I still feel a bit fuzzy in the head."What will you do now, Lippy?"I look at Talima. "I think it's time for my friends and me to go home.""So soon?""Yeah, I only came here to find answers, not for a vacation. Besides, things would get ugly if the other knew of my demon side." I brush my hair back. "I don't want to trouble you and the others who have been so nice to me. Tell Queen Bisera and Queen Ingrid I'm sorry I can't spend time with them.""I understand."Just before I headed back to my room, sounds of thunder caused me to stop as men in armor blocked my path and pointed their weapons at me."What is the meaning of this?" Talima stands in front of me, her tone in anger."Oracle," a man steps forward with dark brown hair and eyes, wearing formal clothing like he's in the renaissance period; armored. I feel his mighty aura, not powerful like an Alpha but that of a beta. I reme

I can feel Dominic growing impatient. He wants to rush and save his grandmother, but one mistake can cause Queen Ingrid's life and his. That feral was the werewolf who Illim killed pretending to be me. After his death, the demon must have become feral to cause trouble."Nick," sending through a mind link with Dominic, he flinches at my voice. "I have a plan. Will you listen to me? Just nod your head."He nodded."Good," I say. "Now, first, I want you to calm down. If you risk saving your grandmother, both of you will die. Remember what I said about ferals? They are strong. So, here's the plan. Once I get that feral away from Queen Ingrid, I want you to grab her at once. Understand?""How are you going to do that? What about the demon?""The Elders are busy with her. I'm going to flash the both of us behind the feral, and once I get his attention on me, you grab your grandmother."Dominic stays quiet, giving a thought as I can feel his emotion of worries consuming him. "What if that th

I waved my magic as it gave Elder Eldings a curious expression. "What's this?""A soundproof barrier," I explain; my whole body seems too close to a nervous breakdown that I took a step back, giving this Werewolf King and me some distance. If he does something to me, I can poof myself."Don't be fret, Lippy. I'm not going to harm you as I promised my mate."I feel uncomfortable talking to the man in control, who's technically the leader of the Elders, because he was the first to receive the gift of becoming a werewolf by the Moon Goddess - as they said."First off," he clears his throat. "I would like to apologize to you."I blink my eyes, shocked at his words."I was skeptical about you the first time we met," he states. "I heard stories about you, a human living in a werewolf packhouse, and being with my grandson wasn't ideal for a wolf pack to raise. But when I heard before the Mating Ritual, you decided to leave. It was quite a relief at first, but it made me curious why. Did you

They keep coming. It's a never-ending cycle of killing a demon. When one dies, another replaces it.Leah is so much eager to have everyone here killed. She's the gate that needs to be close, and if those demons leave this castle, the world will be in chaos.I will not let that happen.After I crushed the heart of a demon with my bare hands, I took a moment to watch everyone fighting. The Elders, who have been retired for 500 years, look crazy excited. They are all out, showing their strength and skills while protecting themselves and each other.So this is what they were five centuries ago. These are the true power of the Elders.Amazing.I know they are powerful, but not that powerful. They are equal strength to my parents. I guess that makes them the most powerful beings in the world.In a blink of an eye, something fast passed by me. I turn to look and see a large black wolf crushing the head of a demon with its fangs. He turns his head, demon blood gushing out from his mouth as hi
